John,
Thanks very much for the cone 6 porcelain recipe. I read the Clay Times
article with great interest, and I always learn so much from Pete's
articles.
From the standpoint of Pete's experience, perhaps customizing claybody
mixtures is easy, but I've been at it for decades and I'm learning new
things all the time.
